How we price a fish and chip van for your wedding
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Access and parking
- Any minimum charge
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and price, we need:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- The address or venue name
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
